I founded Stribling & Associates Ltd in 1980, and am proud to have seen it grow to three offices and over 250 agents. Today, Stribling Marketing Associates, which advises and markets development offerings, and Stribling Private Brokerage, which specializes in the custom offerings of properties over five million dollars, are integral parts of our brokerage expertise. Each agent at Stribling is a true professional who can be counted on for solid and practical market advice.

On January 1, 2013, I was proud and happy to name my daughter Elizabeth Ann Stribling-Kivlan to succeed me as President of our family-owned firm. I will continue to work as Chairman on a daily basis with Elizabeth and our team of managers. It is a dream come true to pass the reigns of Stribling to my talented daughter.

I am a graduate of the Hewitt School, Vassar College, and did graduate work in English literature at Girton College, Cambridge University, Cambridge, England. Real estate has been an extension of my studies in reading the modern novel. It has been an exciting and rewarding career.

I am also Chairman of French Heritage Society, a Franco-American charitable society that aids in the restoration of buildings in France and those of French inspiration in the United States. I serve on the Board and Executive Committee of the Landmarks Conservancy. I also serve on the Board of the Women's Committee of Central Park as well as the Board of the Real Estate Board of New York. I am proud to have been awarded the Henry Forster Award from the Real Estate Board for exemplary conduct in the real estate industry. Equally, I am fortunate to have been decorated as an Officer with the Insignia of the National Order of Merit, as well as having had the additional honor of being decorated as an Officer of the Legion d’Honneur on April 10, 2012, by the French Government.
